Engagements & Proposals

Just the cutest of cuties with this summer engagement in Crestline. C & S have known each other since kindergarten but reconnected in college. Seven years later and C proposed with a ring he custom designed just for her. C is the outdoorsy, adventurous one while S is the artistic free spirit. Together they’ve gone […]

Cloudy Yucaipa Days Make Perfect Cuddle Weather An overcast day made this winter Yucaipa engagement feel so insulated from the rest of the world. With the threat of rain ever looming, we had the freedom to laugh loudly and explore without anyone else in the park. The chill in the air made it necessary to […]

Why I Do This What a joyful experience this summer Lake Arrowhead engagement was! At the time of this engagement session, I was going on a decade of being in business and twelve years photographing weddings. You’d think that all of this would have lost its shine but if anything I’ve only fallen deeper in […]

The Beauty of California In One Location If every engagement could be like this Claremont California Botanic Garden engagement I would be the happiest photographer in all the world. This stunning location is entirely dedicated to plants native to to California. From redwoods to wildflowers to Joshua Trees, there is so much beauty from California […]

The typical June gloom lingered the entire day making our long and adventurous hike for this Oak Glen engagement in wildwood canyon nice and cool. The most amazing thing about these trails is that many people take their horses around the area and there’s tons of wildlife as well like deer and bobcats (from a […]

When The Sunset Doesn’t Cooperate In The Best Way Every so often I leave an session thinking that magic happened and this San Clemente Pier winter engagement is one of those. Our plans to meet up at sunset were thwarted by a giant dark cloud creeping along the horizon until it overtook the sun. And […]

To say this was a Downtown Redlands sunrise Engagement is a rather limiting how amazing this all was and how many iconic spots we hit downtown. Jeremy and Hayley flew in from New York and woke up before dawn (looking this good I might add) to drive to Redlands. I awaited in a dark parking […]

We’re back again with these two cuties and their Downtown Fullerton sunrise engagement! Fueled by the massive iced coffee I inhaled on my pre-dawn drive, I met up with Scarlett and Joshua in a dark parking lot not far from the historic Villa Del Sol where they would be getting married later in the year. […]

A Surprise Redlands Engagement Session E & E’s sister reached out to me from Canada for this Redlands spring engagement under the guise of it being a graduation session. But there was so much more meaning behind this session. Graduating medical school was a big accomplishment that needed celebrating but was overshadowed with a cancer […]

A Coffee Lover’s Date Craig and Heather’s fall engagement in Lake Arrowhead started off at my favorite local coffee shop Lulubelle’s before we headed into the nearby forest in Lake Arrowhead. Craig and Heather met while volunteering at a toy drive and some flirting ensued. He asked her out for coffee but she declined…but armed […]
